@boltsben.bsky.socialAll of the #GoBolts players on waivers yesterday, including defending AHL scoring champion Jakob Pelletier, have cleared and will be assigned to Syracuse.
@boltsben.bsky.social#GoBolts captain Victor Hedman: "We're progressing and gelling as a group, and everyone knows what to expect and what's expected of them, and they know their roles. We've had some time to work on the chemistry on the lines, so everyone's excited."
@boltsben.bsky.socialThe Tampa Bay Lightning have a good problem to sort this season: their blue line has more NHL talent than it does lineup spots on any given night.
The #GoBolts are going to utilize eight NHL defensemen this season, it's just a matter of how and when.

@boltsben.bsky.socialWe’ve learned the #GoBolts spent yesterday golfing together here in Naples.
Sounds like youngster Benjamin Rautiainen has some serious game, is a 5-handicap according to Jeff Viel.
Hedman said Guentzel shot quite a round too.

🧵 7/7 End
@roberttroyross.bsky.social#Atlantic Division:
Team, points
1. #GoBolts, 113
2. #GoHabsGo, 110
3. #TimeToHunt, 108
4. #SabreHood, 105
5. #GoSensGo, 102

I believe the top 4 are a tossup. Exact placement will depend on health, goalie performance.

@jasonmahoney.bsky.social32. Thoughts had a segment on the Kucherov contract today. If fans think this thing's gonna be anything less than 18 million a year. I think they're deluding themselves.  not only the recent contracts but also the announcement of an almost $130 million cap in a couple seasons. #gobolts
@leafschronicle.bsky.socialNick Paul said he’s feeling good and heading to the right direction with his injury sustained in the preseason. Injuries were not related to his wrist/ankle injuries from last year with #GoBolts.
"[…] Just didn't want to turn something little into something big."
@rawcharge.comThe Lightning are close to their official roster. For now, Sam O'Reilly isn't on it. #GoBolts
@erikerlendsson.bsky.social#GoBolts have placed the following players on waivers:
Nicholas Abruzzese
Michael Callahan
Maxim Groshev
Mads Sogaard
Jakob Pelletier
Assigned to Syracuse:
Dylan Duke
Lucas Mercuri
Sam O’Reilly
Noah Steen
Released from PTO
Matteo Pietroniro

@boltsben.bsky.socialRoster moves: O’Reilly, Mercuri, Steen and Duke start the year in Syracuse, while Pelletier is among the #GoBolts players placed on waivers today.
Getting closer to the opening night squad, as 26 players remain:
16 forwards (14 healthy)

@erikerlendsson.bsky.socialIn #GoBolts preseason finale as prospects made a final push, they made a final lasting impression on #TBLightning coaching staff as "competitive camp" winds down ahead of final roster decisions

@boltsben.bsky.socialThe Tampa Bay Lightning wrapped up the 2026 preseason with a shootout victory, more young talent and some silky mitts.
"It was a lot of fun to be a part of and a pretty cool shootout with Rauts doing what he did and to win it. It was a great ending."
